Good questions, quick answers.

Rummagio is a home storage app. You list the boxes in your garage, loft, shed or anywhere else, write down what's in each one, and stick a QR label on the front. Then you can search for anything and see exactly which box it's in and where that box sits.

Yes. Rummagio is free to use right now, with no card needed. A Pro version with extras like household sharing is coming later, and the free version isn't going away.

No. Rummagio works in the web browser on any phone, tablet or computer. You can add it to your home screen so it opens with one tap, just like an app.

Each box has its own label with a QR code, the box number, its name, the room and where it sits. Print it on A4 sticker paper (or plain paper and clear tape), stick it on the box, and point your phone camera at it. The box opens in Rummagio, showing everything inside.

No. The label just points to the box, so you can add, move or take out things as often as you like and the label stays the same.

Yes. Rummagio keeps a copy of your list on your phone, so you can look things up and make changes with no signal. It saves them as soon as you're back online.

Yes. Sign in with the same email on each one and you'll see the same boxes. If two of them change things at the same time, even with no signal, Rummagio puts both sets of changes together when they're back online.

Yes. Mark any thing as lent and type who has it. Search will then say "Lent to Mike", and History shows when it went. You can also mark things as taken out, sold or binned, even just some of them, like 10 of your 50 screws.

Yes. Rummagio can read Excel and CSV files. It matches up your columns, shows you what it found, and adds your boxes and things in one go. You can download a copy of your own list at any time too.

Yes. Add a photo of any thing from your camera or your photos, so you know exactly which one it is. Photos are kept privately and only you can see them.

Yes. Only you can see your boxes and photos. Everything is stored securely in London, and we never sell your information or share it for advertising.

That's exactly who it was built for. Big buttons, plain English, a step-by-step guide the first time, a help button on every screen, and Undo for anything removed by mistake.

There's no password to remember. Type your email and we send you a 6-digit code. Type it in and you're in, on any device.

Rummagio is made in the UK by Joshua Griffin. It started as a way to help his dad find things in the garage.

Anything that lives in a box: tools, Christmas decorations, camping gear, paperwork, toys, crafts, cables, spare parts. Rummagio is built around numbered boxes, so you always know which box to pull out.

As many as you like. There's no limit on rooms, boxes or things while Rummagio is free in early access.

Rummagio is free while it's in early access. A Pro version with extras like household sharing and more than one home is planned. If that changes what's free, you'll be told well in advance, and early users will be looked after.

Pro is planned to add sharing with your household, more than one home or storage unit, and more. You can join the waiting list from the Menu once you've signed up.

For now, add each place as its own room, like "Mum's garage" or "Caravan". Proper support for more than one home or storage unit is planned for Pro.

Yes, it's ideal. Number every box as you pack and list what's in it. When you unpack, search for anything and you'll know which box to open first.

Yes. Add your storage unit as a room, and you'll know what's in it without driving over to look.

Rummagio is made for homes, but it works well for small jobs like an office cupboard, a van or a market stall's stock. It isn't a full stock system for a business.

Any phone, tablet or computer with an up-to-date web browser, like Safari, Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Brave. You can add it to your home screen so it opens like an app.

Not yet. For now it works in your web browser, and you can add it to your home screen so it opens with one tap. A proper app is planned.

A printer is best, but you don't need one. You can write the box code, like G-01, on the box in big letters instead. Search for the code to open the box.

Printed label packs are coming soon: tough, waterproof stickers, each with its own QR code. For now, print your own at home.

You can download a copy of your whole list as a spreadsheet at any time, from the Menu. If Rummagio ever closed, you'd be told well in advance so you can keep your list.

Tap "Get started free" and type your email address. We'll email you a 6-digit code. Type it in, answer a couple of quick questions, and you're ready to add your first box.

No. Every time you sign in, we email you a 6-digit code instead. There's nothing to remember or forget.

Yes. Scroll through this page to see the real app, or read the how-to guides. Once you've signed up, "Show me an example" fills in a garage, loft and shed so you can try everything.

Email hello@rummagio.com. Joshua reads every message.

Tap Menu, then “Remove my account”, under Your account. It removes your account and everything in it straight away. You can download a copy of your list first.

Yes. Tap Menu, then Change next to your email address. We send a link to the old and new addresses to make sure they're both yours.

Yes. Everything is backed up once a day and each backup is kept for 30 days, locked so nobody else can read them. You can also download your own copy from the Menu at any time.

Yes. Print on plain paper or A4 sticker paper and cut them out, or straight onto Avery label sheets like L7165 (8 per sheet). There are box sheets too: an A4 list to tick off as you pack, with the label at the bottom.

Yes. Turn on Moving house and each box can say which room it goes to in your new home, shown big on its label. Box sheets help you plan and pack each box too.

No advertising or tracking cookies. We count visits to the website without cookies, and count which features get used, but never what's in your boxes or what you search for. Rummagio only keeps what it needs on your device: that you're signed in, a copy of your list for when there's no signal, and whether you picked light or dark.

Your account, list and photos are kept securely by Supabase in London. Only you can see your boxes and photos.

No. You get one email about your account when you sign up. After that, only if you tick the box: a few tips in your first ten days, then the odd bit of news. You can turn them off any time.

Rummagio uses big buttons, large clear text and plain English, and works with screen readers. If your phone is set to bigger text or less motion, Rummagio follows it.

Yes. It matches your phone by default. You can also pick Light or Dark: on the website with the switch at the bottom, and in the app under Menu, then Appearance.

Thank you! If it's helped you, you can buy Joshua a coffee. Telling a friend helps just as much.

Tap “+ Add a box” on the home page. Say what you'll keep in it and where it sits, like “Top shelf, left”, then tap Create box.

Open the box, type the thing in the box at the top of “What's inside”, set how many, then tap Add.

Yes. Tap “+ Add a thing” on the home page, type what it is, and pick which box it's going in.

Yes. Type them with commas between, like: drill, hammer, 2 x saw. Each one is added separately, and “2 x saw” is added as 2 saws.

Tap the thing, then use the − and + buttons under “How many?”, or type a number. Tap Save.

Tap the thing, then tap “Add a photo”. You can take one with your camera or pick one you already have. Tap Save.

Type what you're looking for in the search bar at the top. It shows which box it's in and where that box sits. Small spelling mistakes are fine.

Tap the thing, then choose the new box under “Which box is it in?” and tap Save.

Tap the thing and pick an option under “Where is it now?”. If you lent it, type who has it. Search will then say, for example, “Lent to Mike”.

Yes. Tap the thing, pick where it is now (like Lent to someone), and a “How many?” box appears. Choose how many, tap Save, and it splits into two lines, like “Screws × 40” in the box and “Screws × 10, Lent to Mike”. When they come back, mark them “In the box” and they join up again.

Open the box and look at the bottom, under “sold or binned”. Tap one to put it back in the box if you need to.

Open the box and tap “Change name, place or colour”.

Open the box and tap “Delete this box” at the bottom. If there are things in it, you can move them to another box first.

Open the Menu and tap Appearance. Flick the light switch, or choose Light, Dark, or Match my phone.

Tap “Undo” on the message at the bottom of the screen straight away. It stays for about 9 seconds.

Tap “+ Add a room” at the top, then pick one like Loft or Shed, or type your own.

Each box gets a code from its room, like G-01 for the first box in the Garage. If two rooms start with the same letter, the second one uses two letters, like SR for Spare Room. You can change a room's letters by opening it and tapping “Change room”.

Open the room and tap “Change room” next to its name. You can rename it there, or remove it. If it has boxes in, you can move them to another room first.

Open the box and tap “Print this label”, or tap “Print all labels” on the home page for a whole room. Choose plain or A4 sticker paper, or a sheet of Avery labels, and print at actual size (100%).

Yes. When you print, choose your sheet: L7165 (8 per sheet) is the most popular, and there are others under “Other label sheet sizes”. If some labels on the sheet are used already, pick which one to start at.

An A4 page for one box: a list of what's going in it with tick boxes and spare lines, and the box's label at the bottom to cut off and stick on. Open a box and tap “Print box sheet”. Handy for packing, or for planning boxes before you fill them.

Tap Menu, then Moving house, and turn it on. Each box can then say which room it goes to in your new home, shown big on its label and box sheet. Turn it off once you've moved in.

When something's been lent for 2 weeks, a card on the home page asks if it's back. Tap “It's back” to put it back in its box, or “Still with” them and we'll ask again in 2 weeks.

Tap “Don't show Christmas reminders” on the card. To turn them back on, open the Menu and look under Your account.

When you add something you've already got in another box, a note shows where the other one is, so you don't end up with three spirit levels. Tap it to open that box. It's only a note: what you added is still added.

Tap Menu, then Change next to your email under Your account. Type the new address and tap the link we send to both addresses.

Tap Menu, then “Remove my account” at the bottom. It removes your account and everything in it, and can't be undone, so download a copy of your list first if you'd like one.

A4 full-sheet sticker paper works best. Plain paper and clear tape is fine too. Set your printer to actual size (100%) so the QR code scans properly.

Open your phone's camera and point it at the label. Tap the link that pops up and the box opens in Rummagio.

Yes. Tap Menu at the top, then “Bring in a list from Excel”, and choose your file. You can check the columns before anything is added.

Yes. Tap Menu at the top, then “Download a copy of my list” near the bottom, under Your account. It's a plain spreadsheet of your rooms, boxes and things.

Yes. Everything saves by itself. You'll see “All saved” at the top. If your signal drops, it keeps your changes on your phone and saves them when you're back online.

Yes. You can look things up and make changes with no signal. They save as soon as you're back online.

Open Rummagio on the other device and choose “I already have an account”. Type the same email and enter the code we send you.

It can take a minute. Check your junk or spam folder. If it still hasn't come, tap “Send it again”. If you've asked for a few in a row, wait a few minutes first.

On iPhone: open it in Safari, tap the Share button (the square with an arrow), then “Add to Home Screen”. Using Brave or Chrome on iPhone? If you can't see that option, open it in Safari instead. On Android: tap the three dots in Chrome, then “Add to Home screen” or “Install app”.

Sharing with your household is coming in Rummagio Pro. Tap Menu at the top, then Rummagio Pro, to be told when it's ready.

Pro is coming soon, with household sharing and more. Tap Menu at the top, then Rummagio Pro, to see what's planned.

Not yet. Printed label packs are coming soon. For now, print your own on A4 sticker paper.

It's free to use right now. A Pro version with extra features, like sharing with your household, is coming. Tap Menu at the top, then Rummagio Pro, to see what's planned.

Tap Menu at the top, then “Change” next to Email updates. You can also use the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any email.

Tap Menu at the top, then the version number at the very bottom. It lists what's changed in each version.

Tap Menu at the top, then “Sign out” under Your account. Your boxes stay saved.

Yes. Tap Menu at the top, then History. It lists what's been added, moved, lent or removed, newest first, with who did it and when. Type in the search box at the top, like “drill”, to see just that. Each thing also shows its own history when you tap it.

Yes. Tap Menu at the top, then “Try the example”. It shows a garage, loft, shed and more, all filled in. Nothing you change there is saved, and “Back to my boxes” takes you back.

Tap Menu at the top, then “Change” next to your name. It shows on your rooms, like “Joshua's Garage”.

Tap Menu at the top, then How-to guides. Each one goes step by step, with pictures.

Thank you! Rummagio is free to use. If it's helped you, you can buy Joshua a coffee. It helps keep Rummagio going. You'll find it in the Menu too.

Joshua Griffin built it for his dad, who had a garage full of boxes and no idea what was in them. You can read the full story in the Menu, under Our story.

Tap the thing, then tap “Remove from the list” at the bottom. Removed the wrong one? Tap Undo on the message straight away.

Tap the thing, change its name at the top, then tap Save.

Tap the thing and type in the Note box, like “charger in the case” or “size 10”. Tap Save. Search finds words in notes too.

Tap the thing, then tap “Remove photo”, or “Change photo” to take a new one. Tap Save.

Each thing has one photo. If you need more, add the thing twice, like “Tent” and “Tent poles”.

Photos need an internet connection to save. Try again when you've got a signal. Your list itself still saves with no signal.

Taken out means you've got it out yourself, like the tree stand at Christmas. Lent means someone else has it, and you can type who. Both show in search, so you always know where it is.

Tap the thing and choose “In the box” under “Where is it now?”, then Save. If you'd split it, like 10 screws lent, it joins the rest again.

Type their name in the search bar, like “Dave”. It shows everything lent to them.

No. Add as many as you like.

Open the box, tap “Change name, place or colour”, pick the new room under “Which room?”, then Save. It gets a new code for that room.

It's for clear plastic boxes. Pick the checked circle when choosing a colour and the box shows as see-through.

Yes. When adding or changing a box, tap the rainbow circle at the end of the colours to pick any colour you like.

Yes. Type the code, like G-01, in the search bar and the box comes up.

Tap “Remove the example and start my own” at the top of the home page. Any rooms you had before come back.

Check it was printed at actual size (100%), that it's flat and in good light, and that your camera lens is clean. Hold the phone a hand's width away. If it still won't, type the box code, like G-01, in the search bar.

That phone isn't signed in yet. Sign in with the same email you use for Rummagio, and the box opens straight after.

Yes. On the home page, under a room's boxes, tap “Print all” for that room. Each label prints at the right size.

Not for the things inside, they can change as often as you like. If you rename the box or move it to another room, print a fresh label so the writing on it matches.

No problem. Write the box code, like G-01, on the box in big letters. Type that code in the search bar to open the box.

Try a shorter word, like “drill” instead of “cordless drill”. Search looks at things, notes, who has them, box names, rooms and where boxes sit. Small spelling mistakes are fine.

For common ones, yes. “Xmas” finds Christmas, “hoover” finds vacuum and “telly” finds TV.

That means there's no signal at the moment. Your changes are kept on your phone and saved as soon as you're back online. You don't need to do anything.

Close Rummagio and open it again, or switch away and back. It fetches the latest each time it comes back on screen. If both phones changed things, both sets of changes are kept.

Yes, if you both sign in with the same email. Changes from both are put together. Proper household sharing, with your own sign-ins, is coming in Pro.

Each link and code works once and only for a while. Type your email again and we'll send a fresh code.

Use the newest email if you asked for more than one, as older codes stop working. Type just the 6 numbers. Still stuck? Tap “Send it again”.

Tap “All boxes” at the top left of a box, or the X on any pop-up.

It's the blue Help button at the bottom right of the screen. You're using it now!

Rummagio follows your phone's text size. On iPhone go to Settings, Display and Brightness, Text Size. On Android go to Settings, Display, Font size.

Yes. In Google Sheets, choose File, Download, then Microsoft Excel or CSV. Then bring that file in from the Menu.

Files must be under 5MB. Save just your list as a new file and try again. Make sure there's a column for the thing, and ideally one for the box. You can check the columns before anything is added.

Some say there's a box for things nobody's claimed. Try typing “rummage”.

No problem. I'll walk you through it step by step.
